There are certain days meant for taking a walk and there are some days that require you to hide in a cool place. I'm referring to the weather!
When the sun is high up in the sky and shining down with a vengeance, I dare not take a walk. But when it's cloudy and cool, I could walk to the ends of the earth! LOL! Just kidding.
I love walking not only because it is a form of exercise but because it relaxes me and gives me time to THINK. I am a thinker, just so you know!
Before I joined Hive, I blogged on the defunct Uptrennd platform which was my first experience with crypto-blogging (I'm late to the blogging party, I know! lol!). To come up with topics to write on, I would take a walk, think and ideas would flow.
Yes, I do most of my thinking when I go for walks. Sometimes, my schedule makes it a little hard to just walk around and stretch my legs except on the weekends.
My friend works close to our International Airport here in Ikeja, Lagos. Her workplace is about twenty minutes walk from my office or if driving, like eight minutes. Usually, I take a tricycle and somehow it's made me lazy. But I am always up for a good walk to exercise my legs, lungs and heart!
So I walked to my friend's workplace yesterday during my lunch break and thankfully the weather was cool! I'll be sharing with you some of the pictures I took yesterday as my participation in #WednesdayWalk by @tattoodjay and #MakeMeSmile by @elizacheng challenges.
When I go for walks, I prefer if there aren't many people on the road or in my path. It helps me concentrate and think or else I become distracted.
I usually take a shortcut which is close to the Lagos State Teaching Hospital, then I follow an untarred path which connects me to a major dual carriageway leading to the airport.
One of the major landmarks on my shortcut path is Nuel Ojei Holding Limited as seen in the picture below. It's a private company that deals in machinery and building equipment. The building looks cool.
Thankfully, the weather was very cool yesterday with heavy rain clouds but it did not rain. I met up with my friend, had lunch together and I walked back to the office to continue the day's work.
